Agricultural Industry

The word is out ... But have YOU heard?

Learn how to reduce preventable occupational injuries and illnesses by using Cal/OSHA Consultation Services. Agriculture is one of the most hazardous industrial activities in California. Farm workers suffer high rates of both fatal and nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses. These types of injuries and illnesses can be prevented through education and training, on-site assistance, and implementing an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP). Learn about high risk activities including but not limited to the following:

Heat illness when working outdoors in high temperatures and becoming dehydrated - proper shade, rest breaks, written policy for heat illness prevention, plenty of cool water, early symptoms, training, best practices and requirements.

Cal/OSHA Consultation is committed to reducing the number of occupational safety and health hazards to which farm workers are exposed by providing consultative assistance to employers, and by educating both farm workers and employers abut how to work safely.
